    Peace Ayman,

    the event of the full moon (or the new moon) either happens or doesn't (0 or 1).
    ...So you either have to count fractions or you will end up with 11 new moon cycles. Try it. This is probably why Anwar chose to use a fixed cycle of 30 days that is disconnected from the moon.

    Same as you drop a cycle; count 12 whole/complete in a year starting from solstice.

    But NEVER specifically the new-moon. If you disagree then show even one passage that does.

    It says use the phases/sequences/steps (105 and 3639) so we use them

    http//www.rodurago.de/en/index.php?month=2&year=2009&geodata=40.45,-74.00,-5&site=details&link=calendar#showcalendar

    It is extremely hard to witness the new-moon under any conditions. I guarantee that you have NEVER witnessed it. What you see is typically the 1-3 days old new-moon. On the other hand, you undoubtedly witnessed the full-moon many times. This is reality.

    Others for thousands of years have. I did see last year's big moon before the solstice and it freaked me out, although not sure if it was a full moon or not.

    How long is a full moon event; a minute, an hour, a day, what is the "window" to see/witness the moment?

    Again, it ALWAYS means waiting for an event and not counting a continuous time period. Read the passages carefully. The event is sometimes victory or defeat (4141) or the coming of the god's decree (924) or two good outcomes (952) or waiting for things to turn against you (99, or until a hoped for event (2325, 5714), or until judgment day (20135), or a calamity that time brings (5230, 31).

    Moreover, the parallels in 2226 and 2228 indicate that the method of counting is the same.

    No, the widows in waiting extra 10 days appended to the event destroy that argument.

    2234 And those who are made to die from you, and they leave spouses/wives, they wait with themselves four months, and ten (days).

    The above wait period 4 events + 10 days = continuous time.

    Year Month Day Time Day of week
    2009 Mar 11 0240 Wed

    Example two men expire on the same night of full moon leaving widows and no one is there to witness, all were sleeping, only person awake was blind (hint). lol

    Mr. X expires 2 hrs before full moon, wait time = 3 lunar months + 10 days
    Mr. Y expires 2 hrs after a full moon, wait time = 4 lunar months + 10 days

    No. Otherwise it would have been sufficient to simply say the specific night

    To say I was born during a night in March is a true statement.

    In all the contexts "ma3doodat" means few.

    I render it as "numbered" in all contexts.

    I don't see how this resolves the redundancy.

    I don?t see the redundancy, it?s a simple statement. If sick, make up days missed

    285 ?God wills with you the ease and does not want with you the difficulty, and to complete the term...

    The full-moon around the solstice is not just about being red and appearing bigger, the term "scorching" is also about heat.

    I take it you'll cease and desist using full moon illusion as an argument. ;D

    Peace

        http//eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/phase/phases2001.html
        New Moon Cycle

        08/01/2008 2

        You are confused in your counting. You are saying that you are counting the cycle but you are actually counting the event of the new moon. On 7/03/2008 there is no complete cycle. The complete cycle is from 7/03/2008 to 08/01/2008 ----> 1 cycle. So unless you changed your mind and now acknowledge that we are counting events and not cycles, you should write

        07/03/2008
        08/01/2008 1

        This is why you will often get 11 cycles only in a year.

        It says use the phases/sequences/steps (105 and 3639) so we use them

        So do you finally acknowledge that the new moon is NEVER mentioned in the great reading?

        On the other hand, one of the meanings of "shahr" clearly given by Classical Arabic dictionaries is "full-moon".

        Others for thousands of years have.

        Why is it always "others" whenever I ask this question? Is this what is meant by 2185 "whoever OTHER than you witnesses"? )

        I did see last year's big moon before the solstice and it freaked me out, although not sure if it was a full moon or not.
        How long is a full moon event; a minute, an hour, a day, what is the "window" to see/witness the moment?

        The one after the summer solstice will also freak you out and it will be during the hot time of the year. It is not about a minute or an hour. It is not about the theoretical full-moon which may not be even above the horizon. It is about witnessing the optical phenomenon of the scorching full-moon as it slowly rises during the night taking a low path accross the horizon.

        No, the widows in waiting extra 10 days appended to the event destroy that argument.
        2234 And those who are made to die from you, and they leave spouses/wives, they wait with themselves four months, and ten (days).
        The above wait period 4 events + 10 days = continuous time.

        No. This actually destroys your argument. Had it been a continuous time then the god would have said 4 1/3 "shahr" instead of 4 shahr and 10 days.

        Moreover, it is a fact that cresents are used as timing devices (2189) and the 10 days after the full-moon is the time it takes the moon to descend in stages until it becomes a crescent (3639). So here for the 10 days, the crescent can be used to time them. Otherwise, it is impossible for the crescent to time any 10 day period, whether "hajj" (which is 10 days) or the waiting period in 2234.

        To say I was born during a night in March is a true statement.

        You made it so by making one statement.

        I render it as "numbered" in all contexts.

        You are then inventing your own meaning since this is not a meaning that is supported by Classical Arabic dictionaries.

        I don?t see the redundancy, it?s a simple statement. If sick, make up days missed
        285 ?God wills with you the ease and does not want with you the difficulty, and to complete the term...

        Making up the days already covers it. Your understanding makes completing the term redundant.

        I take it you'll cease and desist using full moon illusion as an argument. ;D

        The full moon illusion freaked you out so it is definitely a strong argument )

        Peace,

        Ayman

          Peace Ayman,

          In 2234 waiting period is clearly stated to be four shahr and 10. But how do we know that hajj is to last 10 days?

          According to Lisanul Arab the moon is called hilal during the two days after the appearance of the new moon and the two days before the appearance of the new moon. The other days it is called qamar including the full moon. So according to the classical dictionaries the time from full moon to hilal is more than 10 days.

          The information for hilal is given under the root word(&#1604
          And in 2.234 why God did not say 4 shahr and one hilal; if it is a fact that ahilla are used as timing devices? Is Ahilla is the plural of hilal really?

          Lane?s Lexicon under the root word (&#1604 says
          Hum ahlu ahlatin ( &#1613 and (&#1613 means They are people of the distinguished sort.

          (&#1612 Ahliyatun means The quality of having a right, or just title, to a thing; worthiness, or desert meetness, or feetness; the state or quality, of meetness, or feetness, (of a person) for the bindingness of the rights which the law imposes for one upon him.

          Does ahilla in 2189 have any relation with the meanings mentioned in Lane?s Lexicon?

            Peace Tlepsh,

            In 2234 waiting period is clearly stated to be four shahr and 10. But how do we know that hajj is to last 10 days?

            2196 tells us that those who can't find a donation should fast 3 days in the feast and 7 days when they return (if their family is not in the inviolable institution of obedience). This means that if their family is, then they should fast the full 10 days in the feast.

            Also, 2203 tells us that the feast is a few days (3-10) and that people can hurry in 2 days or stay longer. So the minimum is given as 2 days and the maximum is not given because it is known that "ma3doodat"/few means 3-10. So the maximum is automatically 10.

            According to Lisanul Arab the moon is called hilal during the two days after the appearance of the new moon and the two days before the appearance of the new moon. The other days it is called qamar including the full moon. So according to the classical dictionaries the time from full moon to hilal is more than 10 days.

            The information for hilal is given under the root word(&#1604

            The dictionary wrongly implies that the lunar cycle is fixed 28 days when in fact it is 29.5 days so it can be 29 or 30 days. So starting from the 26th, this is 3-4 days and not 2. Also, the shape of the crescent as described in 3639 actually appears 4-5 days before the end of the cycle. This means 10 days after the full moon.

            Also, the dictionary is clearly wrong and illogical in saying that otherwise the moon/"qamar" is named moon/"qamar" (I hope that you can see how the dictionary contradicts itself here). This is confirmed by the passages in the great reading that tell us, for example, that the moon/"qamar" swims in an orbit (2133). Surely, the moon in all its stages swims in an orbit and not just when full or except when not a crescent as the dictionary suggests.

            As I said many times on this thread, the term "new-moon" is NEVER mentioned in the great reading. The term "ahilat" means crescents (both waning and waxing) and NOT "new moon".

            And in 2.234 why God did not say 4 shahr and one hilal; if it is a fact that ahilla are used as timing devices? Is Ahilla is the plural of hilal really?

            Because there are two types of crescents ?ahilla?. If you look up at the sky and see a crescent and you counted 10 days, you will know right away that it is the waning crescent. If you counted 15 days then it is the waxing crescent.

            Unless there is a strong reason to doubt the dictionary meaning then it looks like the correct meaning, especially since it fits in the context of timing.

            Lane?s Lexicon under the root word (&#1604 says
            Hum ahlu ahlatin ( &#1613 and (&#1613 means They are people of the distinguished sort.
            (&#1612 Ahliyatun means The quality of having a right, or just title, to a thing; worthiness, or desert meetness, or feetness; the state or quality, of meetness, or feetness, (of a person) for the bindingness of the rights which the law imposes for one upon him.
            Does ahilla in 2189 have any relation with the meanings mentioned in Lane?s Lexicon?

            The word ?ahal? also means things such as bring forth or offer (53) and a few other things. Arabic like all human languages is full of inconsistencies. So just because words share the same root it doesn?t mean that sometimes there will not be exceptions that diverge considerably from the root. For example, ?nifaq? (hypocrisy) and ?infaq? (spending) are both from the root NFQ. The same is true in all human languages, even for the same exact words. For example in English the word ?light? can mean the two completely different meanings of ?luminosity? or the opposite of ?heavy?. So please keep this in mind unless you irrationally believe that Arabic is some kind of divine language that suddenly fell from the sky.

            Now back to your question about 2189. I don?t think that there is yet a convincing reason to doubt the meaning of ?ahilat? as ?crescents?, especially given the context of timing. If there is a convincing strong reason in the future and that better fits in the context then we can revisit.

            Peace,

            Ayman

              Peace Rami,

              ???BOGUS SCRIPTURE ???

              What are you saying is a "bogus scripture" - the Qur'aan or the Torah? -\

              Peace Ayman,

              Perhaps, "shahr ramadhan" equals "yom kippur". Both are decreed in the scriptures. What does the Qur'aan say about the fast of "yom kippur"? According to the some Jewish traditions, the Torah was given to Moses on at Mount Sinai on the "yom kippur" (day of atonement)... Coincidentally, the Qur'aan mentions this day as being the same day and observance

              Ramadan is the (moon) during which the Qur'aan was revealed, providing guidance for the people, clear teachings, and "al-furqaan" (the criterion/statute book). Those of you who witness this (moon) shall fast therein... (2185)

              Here, it says the criterion/statute book was sent down on "shahr ramadhan" as well, and this is the scripture sent down to Moses and Aaron (see 214. So, perhaps the "shahr ramadhan" is in harmony with the "yom kippur" of the Jews. Could this be a possibility?

              Peace,

              Ahmad

                Peace Ayman,

                Thank you for your reply but I will repeat some of my questions

                If I am not mistaken according your understanding from 2.189 Ahilla (the crescents) are timing devices for people and hajj. Because the time required from the full moon to waning crescent is 10 days and from waxing crescent to the full moon is 10 days. These 10 days fits with the 10 days of fasting, 10 days of hajj, and 10 days of the period in 2234.

                If God says us that the crescents are timing devices and if the time between the full moon and any of the two crescents is 10 days; then why in 2234 it does not say that the women shall trabbasu 4 ashhur (full moon) and the hilal (the waning crescent) which is 4 full moons and 10 days?

                God will not tell us that the (hilal)s are timing devices and he will not use this timing device for us. Therefore I have doubt that ahilla in 2.189 is something else than the crescents. The meaning of (mikat) in Lane?s Lexicon is given to be ?a time appointed for the performance of some action?

                Each crescent (waning and waxing) lasts for 4-5 days. If we do not count the days how are we going to be sure that it is the crescent of the tenth day after the full moon? The shape of the crescent from the 10th day after the full moon to the 14th day full moon is almost the same as described in 36.39.

                  This is why you will often get 11 cycles only in a year.

                  This is why you will always get 12 full moons in one year = 11 cycles.

                  lunar month x 11 = 324.83649 days

                  I'll have to rethink this whole thing, especially why 8 hajj is used not years.

                    So do you finally acknowledge that the new moon is NEVER mentioned in the great reading?

                    No. It is mentioned via inclusion along with all the other phases.

                    On the other hand, one of the meanings of "shahr" clearly given by Classical Arabic dictionaries is "full-moon".

                    Classical Arabic dictionaries are a tool not Quran and may lead to wrong conclusions, like tracing the month August in English to mean ?a person? named Augustus.

                    Why is it always "others" whenever I ask this question? Is this what is meant by 2185 "whoever OTHER than you witnesses"?

                    Ever think it has to do with the year 2009 not 1009 and we have calendars.

                    I do not use an abacus either while others still do?lol

                    The one after the summer solstice will also freak you out and it will be during the hot time of the year. It is not about a minute or an hour. It is not about the theoretical full-moon which may not be even above the horizon. It is about witnessing the optical phenomenon of the scorching full-moon as it slowly rises during the night taking a low path accross the horizon.

                    That is the problem "will also" is not consistent, undistinguishable, actually confusing.
                    In addition, full moons "will also" occur during the day, as this year

                    June 7 212 P.M.
                    July 7 522 A.M.

                    No. This actually destroys your argument. Had it been a continuous time then the god would have said 4 1/3 "shahr" instead of 4 shahr and 10 days.

                    What God would have said (according to you) is a disastrous statement. Stay with what God said in Quran.

                    Moreover, it is a fact that cresents are used as timing devices (2189) and the 10 days after the full-moon is the time it takes the moon to descend in stages until it becomes a crescent (3639). So here for the 10 days, the crescent can be used to time them. Otherwise, it is impossible for the crescent to time any 10 day period, whether "hajj" (which is 10 days) or the waiting period in 2234.

                    Impossible is this if last full moon event occurs in daytime ? there is ?a break? in the wait until the next dawn event, woman is technically free to cheat due to loophole in time.

                    Using cycles, start whatever day/time, wait 4 shahr + 10 (why word day/s is not used in verse?)

                    You are then inventing your own meaning since this is not a meaning that is supported by Classical Arabic dictionaries.

                    Arabic dictionaries are not Quran, if so tell us the meaning of kalala in 412/4176

                    1220 And they bought him with a unjust price, numbered silver coins

                    100 silver dimes, 40 silver quarters, 10 silver dollars ? numbered is relative.

                    Waothkuroo Allaha fee ayyamin maAAdoodatin

                    6210 and remember God much perhaps you succeed/win.

                    You see, you cannot catch Quran in a contradiction using few/little.

                    Making up the days already covers it. Your understanding makes completing the term redundant.

                    See 1854 and remember Leoxyz ? lol

                    The full moon illusion freaked you out so it is definitely a strong argument

                    Again, wrong full moon, it would also freak out people to start fasting on the wrong time like last year...

                    On Wednesday night, June 18th, step outside at sunset and look around. You'll see a giant form rising in the east. At first glance it looks like the full Moon. It has craters and seas and the face of a man, but this "moon" is strangely inflated. It's huge!

                    You've just experienced the Moon Illusion.

                    Peace

                      Peace Pseudo,

                      This is why you will always get 12 full moons in one year = 11 cycles.
                      lunar month x 11 = 324.83649 days
                      I'll have to rethink this whole thing, especially why 8 hajj is used not years.

                      Exactly 12 new moon EVENTS but only 11 CYCLES (i.e., you will be short when using cycles). Notice how when you count the event of the new moon as opposed to the cycle, it is impossible to get 11 and you will ALWAYS get 12 or 13 (out of which you count 12 as per 936) and this will automatically adjust the seasons. On the other hand, if you count cycles then most of the time you will only get 11 cycles in a year thereby violating 936. This is why we must count the EVENT and NOT the CYCLE. This is the ONLY way to use the moon. Now whether the event is the new moon or the full moon, this is another subject but at least you can now see that counting cycles is definitely wrong as one can see by actually trying to apply it to reality.

                      Now you get it. Notice that by ALWAYS counting 12 events as opposed to the cycle, you are automatically and effortlessly adjusting the moon cycle with the seasons. You are doing this naturally and simply without having to resort to corrupt religious authorities to tell you when to intercalate (which was the main problem of the Jewish calendar).

                      Now the only remaining issue is whether it is the full moon or the new moon event that we are to count. I have already presented all the evidence for the full moon, including the indisputable fact that the word "shahr" itself means "full-moon". You also admitted that new moon is never specifically mentioned in the great reading but the cycle is mentioned (of which both new moon and full moon would be part). So I think that the evidence tilts very heavily towards full moon but I guess if you are still insisting on new moon that we will have to agree to disagree and leave it to the reader to decide.

                      Peace,

                      Ayman

                        Peace Ayman,

                        In 2234 waiting period is clearly stated to be four shahr and 10. But how do we know that hajj is to last 10 days?

                        According to Lisanul Arab the moon is called hilal during the two days after the appearance of the new moon and the two days before the appearance of the new moon. The other days it is called qamar including the full moon. So according to the classical dictionaries the time from full moon to hilal is more than 10 days.

                        The information for hilal is given under the root word(&#1604
                        And in 2.234 why God did not say 4 shahr and one hilal; if it is a fact that ahilla are used as timing devices? Is Ahilla is the plural of hilal really?

                        Lane?s Lexicon under the root word (&#1604 says
                        Hum ahlu ahlatin ( &#1613 and (&#1613 means They are people of the distinguished sort.

                        (&#1612 Ahliyatun means The quality of having a right, or just title, to a thing; worthiness, or desert meetness, or feetness; the state or quality, of meetness, or feetness, (of a person) for the bindingness of the rights which the law imposes for one upon him.

                        Does ahilla in 2189 have any relation with the meanings mentioned in Lane?s Lexicon?

                        The root for hilaal is Haa Laam Laam not Alif Haa Laam . The initial alif is not original but is the alif of the plural. Also, the plural is (Ahil-la) not (Ahila).
                        Classical dictionaries are not consistent with this "two-day" theory. Some say three (al-Sahhah fil-lugha), others say up to seven (al-Muheet), so we can't take them as authority in this matter.

                            Tlepsh makes an interesting point in the following thread

                            http//free-minds.org/forum/index.php?topic=9597952.0

                            It seems that the interim for widows would be fourteen full moons !!!!

                              Peace,brother Ayman..

                              I completed the reading of your article 10 times ! )

                              It never occurred to anyone what the real meaning of the word "Shahr" means,and there`s nothing better-and beautiful- than a clear "monshaher" moon-a front door- to mark it!

                              Thank you for your genius and inspiring inputs.God bless.

                              I have a single question,
                              Is fighting restricted in the restricted months? according to 95 there`s a truce of some kind.
                              And If Ramadhan occurs at the first full moon after summer solstice,then that would mean that the four restricted months which fighting is restricted,are simultaneously June,July,August and September,"harr" times ,and that is a contradiction to 981 where "istinfar" was to be carried on in "harr",or did I get it wrong?

                                Peace sister Sa'adah,

                                I completed the reading of your article 10 times ! )
                                It never occurred to anyone what the real meaning of the word "Shahr" means,and there`s nothing better-and beautiful- than a clear "monshaher" moon-a front door- to mark it!

                                All thanks is due to the god. It is only with his guidance that we can get closer to the truth.

                                I have a single question,
                                Is fighting restricted in the restricted months?

                                No, fighting is not restricted as per the clear answer in 2217. The ONLY thing that is restricted is hunting.

                                according to 95 there`s a truce of some kind.

                                The truce has nothing to do with the god or the message as per 91.

                                And If Ramadhan occurs at the first full moon after summer solstice,then that would mean that the four restricted months which fighting is restricted,are simultaneously June,July,August and September,"harr" times ,and that is a contradiction to 981 where "istinfar" was to be carried on in "harr",or did I get it wrong?

                                There is no contradiction because fighting is allowed as it is always allowed in self defense. 981 taken with 986, which talks about a chapter descending, actually confirms that the great reading descended during a hot time of the year. If we read Chapter 9 then we can see that lots of things happened between 95 and 981 and the events described in 981 must have happened in the next year's restricted full moons.

                                Peace,

                                Ayman

                                  But still I have difficulty understanding 95 ,and its relation to the restricted months.

                                  Could you lend me some help? )

                                  Oh,I also searched for the red and orange moon,the moon is orange after the summer solstice,but it could be orange at many times of the year, but no one can argue that definition of "manazel" describes well a "descending" moon!its true that "descending" will take place only until the moon is a thinning crescent and then well be ascending again to the next full one,but its a good marker to point which point shall be a start.. The moon of the summer solstice is at its lowest point,compared to the sun at its highest point,this IS a special phenomenon.. Thank you for this invitation to look around and ponder in Gods creation..

                                    "Therefore, roam the land for four months and know that you will not escape God, and that God will humiliate the rejecters."

                                    Who are addressed here.and why is it four months?
                                    What is the relationship between the restricted months and fighting in this following verse
                                    "So when the restricted months have passed, then you may kill those who have set up partners wherever you find them, and take them, and surround them, and stand against them at every point. If they repent, and uphold the communion, and contribute towards betterment, then you shall leave them alone. God is Forgiving, Merciful."

                                    Peace,

                                      My opinion

                                      The idolaters of Makkah are addressed here. They had started the war of religions by exiling the messenger of Islam (940) from his home in Makkah and kept it up by continuously attacking the Muslim State in Yathrib (3313).

                                      Why four months? They are the months of restrictions (ash'hurun hurum) mentioned in 936. Form the words "They will ask thee about fighting in the months of restrictions" in 2217 I understand that the Arabs traditionally refrained form fighting in them.

                                      I will continue to explain what I understand from 95 later, God willing, if what I am saying is making sense to the people in this forum.

                                      Peace,
                                      Hasan Ak?ay

                                        Peace Ayman,

                                        On the other hand, if you count cycles then most of the time you will only get 11 cycles in a year thereby violating 936. This is why we must count the EVENT and NOT the CYCLE. This is the ONLY way to use the moon.

                                        936 That alshshuhoori count at God 12 in God's scripture, the day He created the skies/space and the earth.

                                        Alright then let's start at the beginning of creation day 0

                                        4017.664189 ___11

                                        Something is missing, probably obvious, and skipping full moons or calling it no name doesn't seem right.

                                        Also puzzling is also why 8 hijajin is used and not years???

                                        2827 He said "That I, I want , that I marry you to one (of) my two daughters, those two, on that you hire to me (yourself for) eight hijajin, so if you completed ten, so (it) is from at you, and I do not want that I make hardship/difficulty on you, you will find me, if God willed/wanted from the correct/righteous."

                                        Does hajj have to be every year? Does it say 12 shahr in a solar year?

                                        This full moon business, blind not fasting, missing the moon illusion or full moon altogether, skipping 5 in the first 11 years, different wait times for same offense etc., too many issues.

                                        Peace

                                          ( &#1613 Eight hijaj

                                          Does ( &#1613 means eight yearly festivals/gatherings or overcoming of one another person in argument by evidences eight times? Does God mentions yearly festivals/gatherings in his book?

                                          If it was eight years why not mentioned to be ?tamani seenin? or ?tamaniata a3wam?
